Dream Kharlovka and First Knee Litza Back from another fantastic trip on the Russian tundra. We were a seasoned team with 145 years of fly fishing experience and a total of 31 week’s experience from the Russian tundra. We thought we had experienced it all and that the combination of thorough planning and our strong tundra experience should set us up with success. But Tundra is still Tundra and we experienced conditions we never had experienced before, and we saw things we...

The group; Regine Emilie Mathisen, Tom-Arne Isaksen, Erlend Vivelid Nilssen, Marius Hernes, Kurt Magnussen, Volodya, and Morten Pettersen in front (group leader). Finally our week at Kola Peninsula started and the group was really ready for a trout week! We had Volodya as a camp chief and he gave us excellent service whole week! We started in Pina. The water level was a little bit high than the normal, but not bad at all. We did the camp and started fishing at Saturday...

We’re back in Norway after 1 week on the tundra among large trout, wolves and wolverines. Here is a short version: Saturday 23 of July we were picked up by bus at the hotel in Murmansk. After a 3 hour drive into the “middle of no-where” we finally stood, 36 hours after we started in Norway, in front of a Russian MI-8 helicopter. The real trip could start. First stop was Rynda. All fishing equipment was disinfected prior to takeoff to the tundra. Normally I...

A great experience and an excellent adventure once again when visiting the Mekka of brown trout fly fishing. Group 6B stayed at Running Litza and Second Knee Litza during 30th – 7th of August. Our group had very shallow water level and difficult fishing but even then we managed to catch a few. In total for a group of three guys we caught 39 trouts larger than 1 kg. The firsttimer Glenn caught the biggest one on 2,9 kg. I want to thank Justin for great info regarding camps,...

All the days were good here this season on the ASR – and many were great! 2016 season review: Following in the footsteps of the benign conditions that opened the 2015 season, 2016 once more saw a remarkably strong start with the rivers in the first days of June both lower and warmer than for many seasons. This was matched by excellent fishing on the June weeks, evidenced by the strong record of big fish both hooked and landed during this period. In fact, the Rynda...

Group 3B Scones/Dream Litza starting Saturday 9th July 2016 Geir Åge Amundsen (group leader), Tot Erik Aasen, Arve Lindberg, Narve Nilsen, Bjørn Morten Grothe, Lars Gunnar Haug. Gena (camp manager) After a short delay due to fog, our wait was finally over and we were transported with helicopter into the tundra. As usual, our pulse rose upon arrival at the first camp, ‘’Scones’’, an inviting pearl that hides a large number of big fish. However, Scones proved to be a...

3A Bush Wulff The group consisted of Christoph Zimmerman, Gunter Foster, Reinhold Geberd, Stefan Jansen, Carsten Dogs and myself Christopher Rownes (Group Leader). We landed in Bush in very warm weather with the river low and at a very high temparature. We set up camp quick and set out in 3 groups. Despite the very good weather we saw no hatch and very few fish rising. We quickly realised that BIG floating flies was the way to go. These flies fished dead drift brought up...
